sign me up! ive got the athlon x2 2.0ghz 3800+ (same cpu as you) overclocked to 2.45ghz right now. dram is down to 333 and ht clock down to 600mhz just for overclocking purposes. im going to push this badboy to 2.7 just scared of how much power im gonna have to put into it. right now its at 1.5v. how did you get yours to 2.7 with less than that?

so what was your processes of overclocking? lower ht multi and dram speed then set the ext clock to 230 or something and up voltage then repeat? whats your ht link speed running at? i hear above 1000 is unstable. mines at 750 right now since i turned down the ht multi (ldt)to 600 mhz. but at 1.5v im not sure how much higher i want to go. i hear 1.6v is the last safe step. btw, did you up your dram speed last?

when i overclock to 2.74ghz i set my ram timing to 3-3-3-8 and my HT to x3 thats it my memory can handle 560mhz its hyperx so i dont have to change my memory frequency i leave it at 200 and clock it all at default voltage

i guess i need better memory if im going to get past 2.45ghz
after that is just crashes, even if i drop the multiplier.

i think that the sciencemark 2 are for 1 core of the processor only, i mean people with 3800+ get around a thousand clocked at 2.45 and, and i get around that with the x2 4200, so its a bit of a pointless test in a way for people who own x2's, i think that the 3dmark06 scores support x2's and its a test we should use for the best results.

3dMark is highly Video card dependant, therefore there would have to be another set of catagories for the different classes of video cards. Unless all members are happy with lower rankings based on the card they have.

LOL, but not realy that low. Thats the point I'm trying to make; I believe Athlon X2 is trying to maintain a 'AMD' overclockers club and needs feedback from members on how exactly to rate,grade and score the different systems.

Yeah, I thinks thats they route to take in order to submit results that will then be transfered to the web site @ yahoo. I think you might be able to link your name at the yahoo site to your TPU profile or maybe your 'My Space' account? Ask athlon X2.
